Untitled[edit]

Something about this phrase seems wrong to me, 'the first mainstream independent comic book'. I'm not sure exactly what this is supposed to mean. It what sense was Star Reach mainstream? I don't think that it sold through mainstream outlets, such as newstands. I don't think that the intended audience was the same as for other mainstream comic books.

I also not sure that it is correct to say that Star Reach was an important forerunner of the modern graphic novel. How so? Certainly not in the sense of long-form works of comics - most stories in Star Reach were less than 15 pages. ike9898 18:10, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Starreach1.jpg[edit]

Image:Starreach1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Laundry list[edit]

I'm not sure a laundry list of contributors is the most Wiki way of noting them. I'd like to try to write some prose background to put particular creators into context, and also address some of the good points ike9898 made in ... whoa ... 2005!!! Anyone have additional thoughts on this? -- Tenebrae (talk) 23:10, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
